These are the last of 10 ambulance vans equipped with new radios and electric Striker stretchers.

"These are designed to reduce physical strain on paramedics, drive efficiency and enhance patient comfort," Minister for Police and Emergency Services Mick Gentleman said.

"The roll out of the three new vehicles is in addition to the seven already on the roads, including six for front-line personnel and one for non-emergency patient transport."

The ACT government's investment also includes the employment of 30 more paramedics.

ACT Ambulance Service Chief Officer Howard Wren said that the upgrade will benefit the health and safety of both paramedics and patients.

Mr Wren said that paramedics who use non-electric stretchers are susceptible to cumulative injuries to their back or legs.

"It's a smoother ride and a smoother load," he said.

"ACTAS already operates with some of the best response times in the country, and these major investments will ensure our paramedics are well equipped to support the Canberra community when they need it most."

Mr Gentleman announced that the ACT government had signed a new enterprise bargaining agreement with ACTAS, including a new Level 2 classification.

"The new ACTAS enterprise bargaining agreement includes investments in staffing, employment opportunities and health, well-being and safety initiatives," Mr Gentleman said.

"I deeply appreciate the service of our paramedics and this agreement will mean they can have rewarding careers in the ACT Emergency Services Agency where they are well trained and equipped to carry out their important work."

"A nominated workforce planning committee will help develop solutions around rostering, annual leave and flexible work arrangements for ACT paramedics."

Klaus Pinkas from the Transport Workers Union, who covers ACTAS workers, said the new enterprise bargaining agreement was "a long time coming".
